"george w. bush, for example, has said he opposes allowing gay couples adopt children. i believe children ought to be adopted in families with a woman and a man who are married, the texas governor said months ago. but after he said that, governor bush told a gay legislator he doesn't mean that personally. texas state represent glen maxie, the state's only openly gay legislator, says that last april, bush talked to him during a visit to the house chamber. he says, glen, i value you as a person and i value you as a human being and i want you to know that what i said publicly about gay people does not pertain to you personally." but to the extent that i can take away your rights and destroy your family, i'm going to do everything in my power to do that. with ronald reagan, it was sort of the same thing.

i think he struck up a pretty good relationship with george h. w. bush. so the relationship with clinton is prickly and complicated. chris: it is an interesting friendship-rivalry. before we break, the famously close relationship between the bush and bill clinton didn't start out so swimingly. clinton was flummox at al gore keeping him at a distance because of the lewinsky matter. but he couldn't resist spouting off. he held out a texas twang and gave his best bush impression. i'm a governor, my daddy was president. i own a baseball team. but al gore was right in using the lewinsky issue. >> now if he decides he can't help himself and starts campaigning against me, the shadow returns. bill: the shadow. we learned when book visited the white house after the recount of 2000, he asked clinton if that shadow offended him and he gave him a pass. and of course clinton became close to george bush 41 and the family. they consider clinton a brother of another mother. and listen to this. >> is that so ridiculous our odd couple partnership, that barbara began to ref

then i was george h. w. bush's campaign manager against ronald reagan in the fight for the nomination in 1980, and yet ronald reagan asked me to be his white house chief of staff. somebody explain that to me. [ laughter ] and we were sitting in the white house just reflecting on a lot of these events. i said, you know, mr. president, if president ford had asked you to come on the ticket with him in 1976, it's my opinion he would have been elected. we would have won that election, 10,000 votes would not have been a problem. and you might never have been president. and he said that's probably right. he said but i will tell you this, jim. if the president had asked me to take that position, i would have felt duty-bound to do it. now, that's not totally consistent with what the reagan campaign told the ford campaign in 1976 when we said let's have a unity meeting, and the reagan campaign said we'll have a unity meeting provided you won't ask governor reagan to be on the ticket. and we said okay, because presiden

"george w. bush when he was governor said that if a family planning anything, it is, public health manner." "we would have had a million more but when it pregnancies and nearly half of them would have been abortions." if you are against abortion, why would you be against birth control? >> the only reason it has become an issue amongst republicans is that santorum is living in the 50's and he makes it an issue. i don't see any of the other candidates who make it a issue. remember the earlier debate when abc's stephanopoulos asked about contraception? romney said, "what the hell is this about?" settled issue. instead of doing the kennedy thing, i am a catholic but i don't take orders from the vatican, end story -- he does not say end of story, he keeps talking about it. when santorum is out of the race, unless he wins the nomination, i hope it will buy as an issue. >> santorum had a golden opportunity. this was a chance for him to talk about manufacturing, his grandfather story, speak to blue-coll
